Last Sunday, 24th August was the 4th Edition of the global Awards Project, Diamond Special Recognition Awards Worldwide, organised by Yetunde Oduwole, the CEO of Bustline Media UK/International. It was the second UK Edition.

The biggest awards project of the year had a massive turn out and was held at the BTN Banqueting Suite Essex, honouring 32 recipients who have raised the bar in their various fields.

The event kicked off with red carpet sessions by Jummy Ariyo of Splendour Events amidst champagne reception and networking. The evening's comperes were the duo of Yetunde Mamayets Oduwole and Victor Oluwole. The key note address was delivered by the representative of Nigeria High Commission UK, the Special Assistant to the High Commissioner, Minister Tajudeen Adeniyi who stressed the need for constant recognition of hard work.

The night was stolen by Kwame Korateng Bespoke, the London based Ghanaian Designer, also a recognition award recipient. He staged a classy Fashion Show that lit up the runway with his Bespoke Suit Ensembles. De Unique also showcased their new season Kaftan dresses. UK based musicians, Lardy D, LaFlexy ( Yinka Ayefele's younger brother) and Tosin Harmony performed.

The awards project has been celebrating unsung achievers and those who have continuously been recognised for their hardwork and perseverance since 2011. The project was taken to Nigeria, where it's first African Edition was held in 2012, and the USA version was held in 2013 at the Embassy of Nigeria, Washington DC.
